Hello

I am having problems downloading a pdf file that I generate on the
fly. The file download will work in IE7 and Firefox, but not in IE6 as
per this post  http://drupal.org/node/93787

I am trying to change my headers as the post suggests, with the code
below ...I run this in Firefox with the firebug add-on so that I can
capture the header information sent to the browser and only some of
the setting are changed and it seems to ignore the request that I am
making. Could anyone shed some light on this???

Basically I'm trying to set the Cache-Control to private and the
Pragma to cache

                'Store File in Buffer
